Sesame Place First Aid station is located in the center of the park, and its entrance is located next to Oscar's Garage. This office is staffed by Registered Nurses and Emergency Medical Technicians. Ambassadors throughout the park are able to call for assistance upon request. 

Service animals are welcome at Sesame Place. Service animals are limited to dogs and miniature horses that have been individually trained to do work or perform task for the benefit of an individual with a disability. Service animals must remain on a leash or in a harness at all times, unless such leash or harness interferes with the service the animal is providing, or the handler is unable to use a leash or harness due to his/her special need.

Service animals are the responsibility of the owner and cannot be left unattended. Guests are responsible for the clean-up and for controlling their assistance animal’s behavior. If, at any time, your service animal’s behavior becomes a threat to the safety and well-being of other park guests, you will be asked to leave the premises. All service animals must be housebroken. For additional information on service animals, please reference our Accessibility Guide.

The Family Care Center is also home to Lost Parents. Children who are separated from their families during their visit will be able to wait in a supervised, indoor area until a parent or supervising adult is able to meet them. Lost child announcements are made in the park when a child is brought to The Family Care Center. Identification wristbands for children are available at The Family Care Center.

Adult changing tables are located in the restrooms across from Big Bird's Burger & Bites.

Sesame Place offers a Child Swap program on select Dry Attractions. This program is helpful when one adult wants to ride with more than one child, but the ride does not allow the entire party to ride at the same time. Once at the front of the line, the adult can ride with one child while the other waits with a non-rider. Once the ride is complete, the children switch spots and the adult can ride with the other child without having to wait in line again. Please note that Sesame Place Ambassadors may not supervise children or ride with a child as part of the child swap program. A child swap must be done by a member of the party to allow the children to ride. Child Swap is not avaialble on our Water Attractions.

Large double stroller with seat belts and canopy that hold two children are available for rent.

Our Ride Accessibility Program matches the individual abilities of our guests to the requirements of each ride. The Ride Accessibility Program is designed to allow guests to fully participate in the enjoyment of our park while keeping in mind the safety requirements of our rides and attractions. The program was developed based on the requirements of the ride manufacturer and by evaluating the physical and mental attributes required to safely ride each ride. It is our policy to allow anyone to ride our rides and enjoy our attractions as long as they meet all these requirements and such that it does not present a potential hazard to the guest or to others.

Ride Accessibility Guide
Our Ride Accessibility Guide provides an overview of services and facilities available for guests with special needs who are visiting Sesame Place. We are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable environment to all guests.
